6 Tasting Notes

It’s hard for me to know how much matcha to use when it has sugar and other ingredients bulking up the powder. It seems that whatever was left in the sample sized bag I got was the perfect amount. I added some creamer (which is slightly sweetened) and got a very pleasant cup. I get matcha at the start of the sip with a little grass and berries more in the aftertaste. Hard to tell about the cream part after adding my own cream, but the overall taste is indeed creamy. I like this one and can see it making a really good summer drink served over ice. I would consider buying it again.

Preparation

Made this just stirred in cold milk and it tastes like a topping you’d find on a dessert. Like a berry coulis and whipped cream given its sweeter than actual berries tend to be but still has a berry-like flavor. It’s alright but the flavoring is subtle whereas the sweetness is not.

Berry Matcha hold the sweetness. I find the same problem with most lemonades. The best lemonades have the minimum amount of sugar possible. Also a problem with store bought marmalades. The only good Marmalade was ED Smith’s no sugar added one. It was lemon, Lime and Orange. Hard to find now though.

I prepared this as an iced latte, and it was what I pretty much expected. There is a lot more emphasis placed on the “berries” aspect in regards to the flavouring. It’s reminiscent of a blueberry-açai “power fruit” juice or what have you. The matcha powder itself isn’t as aromatic as I would have expected (unlike its Honeydew cousin).

But, come to think of it, I need to give DAVIDsTEA credit for the berry flavouring to not be artificial to the point that it tastes like actual chemicals. That was a huge issue I had with Red Leaf Tea’s fruit-flavoured matcha. Almost every one I tried had an extremely off-putting chemical undertone, whereas this does not.

To me personally, this was the matcha from the collection that best fit my expectations of it. It’s very much a mixed berry sort of flavour with notes of blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, and even this sort of acai kind of quality? That jumble of berry notes reminds me a lot of the mixed berry profile that Red Leaf Tea’s Richberry Pie matcha has! I really enjoy that part of the flavour.

For me, the thing that really doesn’t connect well is the ‘cream’ element. Quite often, I find myself thinking that whatever the company uses as its “cream flavouring” is really artificial and somewhat unpleasant tasting- and that weird “cream flavouring” is used in several different blends. It’s not as prominent here as I’ve seen with other teas, and the addition of milk to add some actual creaminess both in flavour and mouthfeel does help a lot. It’s kind of like a berry custard? Pretty solid overall, despite some slight cons.

Also, I think this may arguably be the sweetest of the new matchas for what that’s worth.

Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts regarding the teas, and not the company’s.

This is so delicious as a smoothie! Tastes exactly like berries and cream. I’m in love! Best part? This 50g of loose matcha was free with my steeper points along with the other two in this collection (Honeydew Matcha and Hawaiian Punch Matcha).
